Perhaps it comes with age, but I have experienced and watched others experience some major loss in 2017 leading into 2018. As one client put it when explaining a recent rejection: “It’s as if I was standing at the ferry dock and the ferry left without me. And there was no schedule for the next […]

Superhuman Log Date January 3, 2018 #beinghuman #beingsuperhuman #armorup
I received some news recently that, although not entirely surprising, still stunned and saddened me. So I had this inner struggle. So you knew it was coming. Yeah but this is game-changing. C’mon, be resilient. You can do this. Now what? Nothing comes easy. Life doesn’t happen without loss or defeat. So what’s new? Your mission to […]
Superhuman Log Date January 2, 2018 #beinghuman #beingsuperhuman #nojudgment
We are really good at sitting in judgment. And not only of others. We are sometimes the best at judging ourselves very harshly. As if life is one big face of scorn, look at us and shaking its head. Some of us have been taught to be self critical, easily judging ourselves, while hearing familiar voices tell […]
Superhuman Log Date January 1, 2018 #beinghuman #beingsuperhuman #empoweryou
As I reflect back on 2017, I have a lot to be grateful for. My life is filled with love, hope and a surge of happiness when I think about what we’ve accomplished, and what we have yet to explore, try and achieve in 2018. My lessons learned for 2017 are long, and in fact it’s […]

Here’s a year in review for what we’ve accomplished and what’s next for Covert Leadership. On January 1, we decided to blog daily as a way to journey through, and maybe even cope in our extremely divisive society. We wrote a book in 6 weeks and we wanted to find a way to reunify our […]

It’s time to say good bye to 2017. At the start of each year, renewal is top of mind for me. Many of us have felt our values under assault for every single day of 2017. And it’s true that human beings want to find a savior – it’s a myth, really. Whether that savior is […]

Today was one of those days when I listened to Ennio Morricone and felt solemn. When I listen to classical music, it transports me back in time. Both parents still love music. My mom sang in night clubs throughout Asia with her father ordained the Louis Armstrong of Asia on his saxophone when she was as […]
#RPCL Log Date December 28, 2017 #beinghuman #Don’tTakeLifeSoSeriously #Don’tTakeYourselfSoSeriously
Life is no picnic. Not sure where that saying came from, but it’s obvious. So life is confusing, people are frustrating, politics are maddening, yada yada yada. Time to find and create levity when it feels so heavy. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Don’t take life so seriously. Be serious about your […]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Do nothing, when mindfulness beckons. It’s a clear sign to slow down. Exhale. Reboot. #donothing #slowdown #reboot
#RPCL Log Date December 26, 2017 #beinghuman #CorruptOthersWithKindess #KindnessRules
Some might say we live in an era of corruption. So here’s my mission for you, if you choose to accept it: Corrupt others with kindness. Why not bring others back to the light? (Sorry, I’m a total Lord of the Rings fan). #oneringtorulethemall #kindnessrules
